springtime in atlanta…
thank goodness for rain!
accommodate
cajole
anticipate
surrender
(yes, that’s a dog, squuuunched in on the sofa pillows…)
funny little fellow
rock for a head
your spears and arrows loom bigger than you
lie still and bask
the chill will pass
for you will thaw, and soon…
ladders and windows
ladders to windows
rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your golden locks
unlock your memory
release your secret wisdom
spring forth and slip from branches
sink into crystalline oblivion
thawing wisdom melts as the creaking trunks fly past
beyond burrowing many thoughts become one
one billion petals on the flower of life
one trillion worlds holding blooms
life’s water courses
life’s spark ignites
throughout
our world sleeps and dreams
one billion dreams, many thousands more lifetimes
thousands of bridges lead where
life’s travels swaddle
life’s visions persuade
timing
holds dreams fast to land
one billion lands echo laughter, silent sadness
one cry brings insight within
life’s spark breathes deeply
life’s pause lifts fully
loving
dreams bring us back home
